Best Friends Doggy Daycare & Spa

We require Rabies, Bordetella and Distemper vaccinations at our centers located in Walmart.

A shedicure is an extra solution to remove additional undercoat. During the bathing process we use a special de-shedding shampoo and once the coat is completely dried and combed out, we use a furminator. It is different from brushing or combing because this process will remove MORE loose undercoat with a noticeable difference

You can make a reservation by submitting a "contact us" form online, by calling our facility, or by stopping by our center.

We have a policy against the use of heated drying cages in our grooming salons. Our Grooming Associates are trained to hand-dry pets after they have been bathed. The process involves brushing out the coat to remove shedding hair, while blowing it dry with equipment similar to, although larger than, the hair dryer you might use at home. When the pet’s coat is almost completely dry, he is put into a holding compartment to rest. A high volume of ambient, room-temperature air is circulated in that compartment. We NEVER add heat to the circulating air. In addition, we are continually evaluating and upgrading the equipment at each of our facilities to ensure that all Best Friends salons are in compliance with our strict corporate standards. The health, safety and comfort of all of the pets in our care is of primary importance to us. We have established our grooming policies, selected the equipment we use, and trained our staff with those requirements in mind.

We provide a variety of different shampoos/conditioner to accommodate your pet's skin type. Also, for no additional charge, we will bath in a vet-prescribe shampoo that you provide. Talk to you groomer about your pet's sensitive skin or other skin issues at check in, so the groomer can recommend which shampoo or condition would be fit your pet's skin care needs.

Best Friend’s professional stylists will not tranquilize a pet in order to groom it. Our stylists and groom techs are well trained to handle nervous pets, and treat every pet with tender loving care. If a pet is too agitated to be safely bathed or groomed, our staff will not attempt to force the service on the pet.

Our grooming rates vary depending on the breed of your pet and the type of services you choose. Please click on the location of your choice to obtain the telephone number of the center. Making a call directly to the center and discussing your pet’s needs with a member of our professional grooming staff is the best way to obtain a quote.

All dogs, attending our daycare, need to be spayed and neutered.

Our screening process is done when you and your dog visit for the first time. We call it our initiation. We want to ensure that daycare will be a safe experience for your dog so we leave 10-15 minutes to observe his/her behavior and make sure it meshes well with our environment. While this initiation is occurring, we ask that you stay close until we give you the thumbs up that everything is ok. It is important for us and for our other daycare guests that each pup, coming into our daycare space, has a temperment that works with other dogs.
